You know what?

*Makes introduction post*

So hi!

Nickname Shu, I'm 23, from Poland, I 'm mostly on Guild Wars 2 side of Tumblr. I play on EU using my main - Gnom Bojowy, and you can see me posting drawings I made of him. Tho from time to time I will add something like drawing of my other characters or DIY crafts I made.

Some tags I use to categorize things:

#Shu's art - literally anything I made by myself, you wanna see my drawings, search by this

#commander's journal - this one is connected to my huge journal project. Honestly, just look in @commanders-journal to see the whole project

#joink - reblogs I find useful for later. It includes references, ideas and community events

#rambling - sometimes I want to say something and let it be lost in the eather

#Lee-Meade twins - it's a shared gw2 AU with my bestie @ann-the-alien-moth

And these are my OC tags:

#Shu's OCs - general tag of all my OCs. Each has it's own tag listed here:

- commander gnom (asura) character card

- Kotomata Shu (sona/charr) character card

- Satyn Lee-Meade (human) character card

- tengu Harvey (tengu) character card

- Mist D Mar (charr)

- Flavius Wildfire (charr)

- Herbatka Na Sen (sylvari)

- Bell (object head)

- NoGayNoLife (dog demon, Sword of Justice MMO)

The journal got two new pages. It's now in "Order Neophyte" phase. At first I wanted to keep it PG with no curse words, but you know what? The politics game is so messed up, that I don't think Gnom would try not to curse them out in his personal journal. He is an asura, it's in his blood.

Either way~ it's apple time :3

Btw, yes, it's a Mulan meme with Zojja.

This page deserves it's own post.

It's interactive! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

And the entry excluding letters is freestyled. Gonna watch Catacombs story mode to write the next entry, before meeting Tybalt. Figured out where dungeons are organically placed between story chapters, but it's all on me to wave them into the journal.

Dungeon mail - 4 done, 4 yet to do.

Gonna glue them inside the journal as an interactive part. Of course adding some Gnom's notes and highlights of important bits. And a healthy dose of distrust. Honestly these letters really seem out of the blue when looking through the character's perspective.

Btw, you can try to read these letters, tho I know the photo isn't doing them justice. And some people probably will have problems with reading cursive. But I needed to play with font for the illusion of these being written by someone else.

~IMMERSION~

Two more pages!

First mission with Tybalt, promotion and letter from the Herald.

I will also do a post with each individual page adding alt text. I already did that on Bluesky, but I was STRUGGLING to fit in the character limit. That made me avoid adding it to my older posts here on Tumblr. So to sum up - images with two pages of journal are mostly for aesthetic purposes and if you can't read what is written, seek images with one page and alt text.

Turns out writing down every possible character choice, that is written in the journal, in one single text file, is actually hard. It takes quite a lot of time transcribing every possible character intro cinematic from videos I find on yt. At least after this roadblock I will be able to share the whole file.

Until then, here is a link to the folder (google drive) that will host journal file and IS hosting dungeon mail file.

Keep in mind, that when journal file will be out, dungeon mail will be included inside.

edit: THE WHOLE FILE IS OUT

Future tip for handling journal file: straight up delete choices that you won't be using and then save as new file. It will instantly go from more than 200 pages to 150.

More tips are included in the file.

It's kinda journal related, so here you can see my setup~

Not that grand or anything. This calligraphy set at the bottom is even older than I am (I'm 23). My mom used it in her youth, and it's kinda... Barely holding together (but the thin tip is so well broken I just can't use any other that is stiff).

And the blue highlighter is my personal favorite. Both because of the color and because of the name with a super obvious typo - "Thin Postive". (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
